Acrylics take 1, 16" by 20" acrylics on canvas, 2009.

I had heard and read a lot about acrylics painting and decided to give it a try. This is the result of my first use of acrylics painting. I also added some texture with Gesso.

For the first time I used Epoxy Resin as well to get a very glossy, shiny finish.

Sunrise, 16" by 20" oil on canvas, 2009.

My first sunrise painting. I researched plenty of sunrise paintings images and found one similar to this one that really liked because of the many tones of yellow and orange. This painting also gave me a good opportunity to practice with blending color. I used a pre-primed canvas.

Three-way abstract 2, 24" by 12" oil on canvas, 2009. Abstract textured oil painting.

In a previous blog I presented the first painting of this series. 

Here again, the purpose was to make something that would fit in my new livining room. I had a color scheme in mind and I played with oil painting, gold metallic pigments. I added some texture to bring the whole canvas to life.

Three-way abstract 1, 24" by 12" oil on canvas, 2009. Abstract textured oil painting.

I bought my first place about two years ago, a nice loft-style apartment in Griffintown, Montréal and I needed something to cover my big walls. This painting is among the first four that I made for my living room.

I tried playing with texture for the first time. I had some DryDex spackling paste left over from the renovations I had just completed and I used it to create some texture in this abstract painting.

I used oil painting and mixed some silver metallic pigments with linseed oil in order to get the two silver lines running through the canvas.

Woman dancing, 16" x 20", oil on canvas, 2009. Abstract realism.

Here is the result of my first encounter with oil painting. You can see a woman dancing, happy, enjoying her life as it is, because after all, shouldn't life be enjoyed and not feared.

I was learning to blend oil painting and it came up to me that i could put something more in the middle of those three bands. The inspiration came from the type of abstract realist paintings that are so popular in african market and art stores.
